I still cannot get over how good Ricky’s was. We started with oysters and honestly they were the best oysters I have ever had, and I’ve had a few! Came with some vinegary condiment - I’m not really selling that I appreciate that - but it was really good!
For mains I had the crab spaghetti, and if you go you absolutely have to order this. It is non negotiable. The flavour was unreal. My partner had the fish of the day which was yellow snapper, paired with the cauliflower side. We couldn’t stop talking about how incredible everything tasted.
To finish we shared the cheese and crackers which were such good value at $24 for two cheeses. It came with a generous assortment of crackers, fruit toast, quince paste, fig and even raisins. Such a perfect way to end the meal.
The setting was stunning. We booked a table for 4.30pm which was the perfect time for the sunset. Sitting by the window as the light changed was just beautiful. Inside, the atmosphere was warm and elegant with soft lighting from chandeliers creating such a relaxed and special feel.
The staff were brilliant. So kind and attentive, constantly checking in to see if we needed anything, topping up waters and even lowering the blinds when the sun was a bit strong. Service was flawless and made the whole experience even better.
It’s easy to access and there are plenty of tables, though it does get busier later in the evening. You can also get a ferry straight from the restaurant to Hastings Street which is such a fun touch, although we missed the last one when we left around 6.30pm.
Yes, it is on the expensive side, but you can see exactly why. The quality, the atmosphere and the service are all worth it. We will absolutely go back. In fact, we loved it so much that we booked our parents in for the following night because we knew they would love it just as much as us.
